The northwest of Structure B was not ex- cavated because it was hidden beneath a group of cedar trees which could not be disturbed. South of the trees, however, the section of the west-wall foundation was exposed to a length of feet. This section was situated partly in, and partly north of, the north cellar area. The cross measurement, from outer edge to outer edge, was 28 feet, the same as the length of the south foundation wall. Another short section of the west foundation wall also was exposed from the southwest corner as far as a private drivcwav which limited the excavation. .Abutting the exterior of the north wall of the founda- tion a flagstone pavement was found, extending feet northward and 16 feet westward from the north- '• (St corner. Against the foundation, within this space, was a U-shaped brick wall, forming a hollow rectangle 5 feet by feet (inside). The space was HUed with ashes, loose bricks, and other refuse. This brickwork was the foundation for a small porch, the lime-sandstone slabs surroimdiny it having; been an apron or a small terrace. Extending westward from the cedar trees, beyond the projected 28-foot length of the north wall, was a short section of brick wall foundation, the outer surface of which was faced with slabs of red sandstone and dressed on the top with a cyma-reversa molding. The tofjs of the slabs were rough, but each had slots and channels for receiving iron tie Ijars (ill. 3) that were still in place. This wall was inset foin- inches to the south of the alignment of the main noith foundation wall. The northwest corner of this additional structure was hidden under the highway.
